by Owen Barfield; Howard Nemerov (Other)
From the rear cover

With the intent to consider the point where life and imagination meet (Barfield calls this intersection 'perception'), Barfield focuses the crux of <i>Poetic Diction</i> on the study 'of poetry and the poetic element in all meaningful language.'
